“The cold is a powerful teacher. It teaches you to be present, to focus, and to connect with your body.”

Everyone is welcome

The Morro Bay Odder Club respects every individual's uniqueness. We are caretakers of nature and nurturers of our own humanity. We are healers and we are being healed, with no distinction needed. We are a community of odders. Think you're odd enough?

Nature's perfection

A perfect setting to immerse in cool healing ocean water. As a nature preserve, Morro Bay holds a thriving and diverse wildlife population.

Why we do it

The Morro Bay Odder Club is dedicated to the health and well-being of the world. We support anyone interested in experiencing this form of physical and mental therapy.

What a dip looks like

Breathe first. Then the water.

  1. 01

    Breath work on the sand

    We start with guided rounds so your nervous system knows what's coming.

  2. 02

    Into the bay together

    Nobody swims alone. Time in the water is set by conditions and by you.

  3. 03

    Warm up and stay a while

    Towels, layers, hot drinks and the part everyone actually comes back for.

From our mornings

Real odders, real water

Fog days, glass-flat mornings and the bluebird ones. Every photo here was taken by somebody standing in the bay with us.

Our vision

The ability to remain calm under stress allows our brain to produce the chemicals that enhance our sense of well-being, and gives our bodies the chemistry that optimizes performance.
